I'm rich!

[Stuckinthebush]

Check it out! I just got this email. All I have to do is provide my bank account information and I will get a cool 3.3 million dollars! I just knew my ship would come in one day!

It must be tough to be a Nigerian gas refinery construction contractor. I mean, you have to go to American and ask a pure stranger for a bank account to put the money in, and then give that stranger a large portion of the contract just for the privilege of using your local bank account to invest your money. Oh, well. Their misfortune is my good fortune!

I feel so good about this, that I will give the first 50 people who post here $10,000 each. Of course, I'll have to have your bank account info so I can wire you the money.....:D

(Do people really fall for these schemes?)

2. Be sure to tell him that bank accounts in excess of $100,000

are not insured past that amount by the FDIC here in the United States.

Man, he should know that, as an attorney. :P

4. Aw...cut him some slack!

Attorneys of Nigerian gas refinery construction contractors have a lot of things to think about.

Poor Festus is probably working 20 hour days just to be able to get his client's money in a safe American account.
